Steamboat is committed to promoting skier/rider safety and has established the SlopeWise and ParkWise Programs. Under these programs, all skiers/riders must be responsible, treat each other with respect, be considerate, and know and comply with the Colorado Ski Safety Act, Your Responsibility Code, Colorado law, and the SlopeWise and ParkWise Programs.

Signs

In each of the terrain parks, the resort has installed safety signs to help educate and inform about Terrain Park etiquette. Read these signs and become familiar with the Terrain Park code in order to make the terrain park experience better for everyone.

Read and obey all posted signs, instructions and warnings before using Freestyle Terrain.

Four Main Points of Smart Style

Check
Make A Plan
  • Every time you use Freestyle Terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use.
  • Your speed, approach and takeoff will directly affect your manuever and landing.
Dropin
Look Before You Leap
  • Before getting into freestyle terrain observe all signage and warnings.
  • Scope around the jumps first not over them.
  • Use your first run as a warm up run and to familiarize yourself with the terrain.
  • Be aware that the features change constantly due to weather, usage, grooming and time of day.
  • Do not jump blindly and use a spotter when necessary.
Rails
Easy Style It
  • Know your limits and ski/ride within your ability level.
  • Look for small progression parks or features to begin with and work your way up.
  • Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the ground and in the air.
  • Do not attempt any features unless you have sufficient ability and experience to do so safely.
  • Inverted aerials increase your risk of injury and are not recommended.
Landing
Respect Gets Respect
  • Respect the terrain and others.
  • One person on a feature at a time.
  • Wait your turn and call your start.
  • Always clear the landing area quickly.
  • Respect all signs and stay off closed terrain and features.
